Joris Mathijsen (born 5 April 1980) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He is the director of football at Willem II.

Club career

Mathijsen started his football career at SV VOAB in Goirle after he visited a training session of a friend as a young boy. At the age of nine, he left this club and came through the youth system of Willem II. He was promoted to the first team for the 1998–99 season, making his debut on 27 February 1999 in a match against FC Utrecht. After six seasons at Willem II, he was sold by manager Co Adriaanse to AZ. However, he endured a harder time breaking into the first team with AZ and his case was not helped by injuries.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

After finishing as runners-up in the Eredivisie in 2006, Mathijsen opted to transfer to German Bundesliga side Hamburger SV for €6 million, where he teamed up with fellow Dutchmen Rafael van der Vaart and Nigel de Jong. He scored Hamburg's 2,500th Bundesliga goal (his first for the club) on 20 October 2007 against VfB Stuttgart.{{cite web | url = https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1030498.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090308021722/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1030498.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = 8 March 2009 | title = Mathijsen: We have what it takes | publisher = FIFA.com | date = 19 February 2009 | access-date = 18 May 2010}}

In November 2008, Mathijsen signed a new contract extension, tying him to Hamburg until the summer of 2012.{{cite web | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01d3-0e705b80a02b-5ae5c0fdc505-1000--mathijsen-extends-hamburg-association/ | title = Mathijsen extends Hamburg association | publisher = UEFA | date = 13 November 2008 | access-date = 18 May 2010}} In mid-June 2011, however, he signed a two-year contract with Spanish La Liga side Málaga.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

In the summer of 2012, it became apparent that Málaga was willing to let Mathijsen transfer to another club, prompting several Dutch sides to show interest, including Feyenoord and Ajax; on 10 August, Mathijsen signed with the former.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

International career

On 17 November 2004, Mathijsen made his international debut for the Netherlands against Andorra in a 3–0 away win.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

Since his international debut, Mathijsen became a mainstay figure in the national team, especially after impressing with Hamburger SV. He was usually positioned as left central defender, because of his strong left-foot. He was called up to the Dutch squad for UEFA Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. Initially in danger of losing his spot to Wilfred Bouma, he followed it up with a decent enough performance at the Euro 2008 and remained first-choice.{{cite web | url = http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/4101120/__Mathijsen_speelde_alles__.html | title = Mathijsen speelde alles | work = De Telegraaf | language = nl | date = 7 June 2009 | access-date = 18 May 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110608045228/http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/4101120/__Mathijsen_speelde_alles__.html | archive-date = 8 June 2011 | url-status = dead }}

Mathijsen was ever present for Oranje during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying.{{cite news|title=Mathijsen bij Oranje 'zekerheidje'|url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/article4083461.ece|work=De Telegraaf|date=4 June 2009|language=nl|access-date=18 May 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110608045142/http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/article4083461.ece|archive-date=8 June 2011|url-status=dead}} He played more minutes than any other player in the Dutch squad and played a key role in their record of having conceded the fewest goals in their qualifying group.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

Mathijsen was part of the Dutch team for the 2010 World Cup, managed by Bert van Marwijk.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/may/27/holland-world-cup-23-man-squad |title=Holland coach Bert van Marwijk finalises World Cup squad |work=The Guardian | date = 27 May 2010 |agency=Press Association | access-date = 27 May 2010}} The player was in the starting line-up for their first match in the competition, a 2–0 victory over Denmark, and started in all their matches on the way to the final.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=249722/match=300061478/report.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100617201952/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=249722/match=300061478/report.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 June 2010 |title=Netherlands-Denmark |publisher=FIFA.com | date = 14 June 2010 | access-date = 16 June 2010}}
